Danger Is My Life
Chapter 6: It Was Just the Beginning.
"No." Louis said again.
"But your highness, you must choose a queen." Octavian said. Louis shook his head.
"I told you all before, and I'm telling you again, I don't want to get married." Louis said.
"You're a king." Octavian said. Louis got up from his chair.
"Meeting dismissed, go home, all of you." Louis said, and walked towards the door.
"But your highness, we have found you a bride." Octavian said. Louis stopped.
"You did what?" He asked.
"You're a king, you need a queen. And if you don't choose one, we'll choose for you." Octavian said.
"You can't do that!" Louis yelled.
"For goodness sake get over the girl already, Louis. It's been three years she's not coming back." Said Carlos, Louis' childhood friend. Louis glared at him.
"As I said before, case dismissed!" Louis shouted, anger in his voice. He walked down the hallway. Not noticing three musketeer maids watching him.
"I can't believe they did that to me." Louis muttered to me, "Don't they know I'm still getting over Corinne."
"And how long do you expect them to wait?" Renée asked. Louis turned around to see the three musketeer girls, and his cousin. Cedric had stayed to 'help Louis get over' Corinne, however Louis knew that was just an excuse to be with Aramina.
"Until Corinne comes back." Louis said.
"Louis she's dead. Gone, we don't want admit but we have to." Renée said.
"I need some air." Louis said, "And some time alone."
"Where are you going?" Viveca asked.
"If I tell you, you'll follow me." Louis said, and then walked away.
"He's never getting over, Corinne, is he." Aramina said.
"I'm sure he will eventually." Cedric reassured her.
...
Louis sighed as he walked through the graveyard, heading towards Corinne's grave. He looked down at the black rock. Corinne's name was written in gold letters. He looked down, sadly as he remembered the day he lost Corinne. She couldn't really be gone. He told himself every time. Maybe she was still out there. A dead leaf fell on top of the grave. Louis brushed his fingers against the hard polished dark rock.
"I always believed in you Corinne, and if somehow you managed to survive the fall, come back please. Stop this, I can't go on." Louis whispered, "I owe you so much." He would've cried if he was still the same person he was three years ago, but he wasn't. His heart had turned hard as a rock the day Corinne died, and never let in another emotion except anger. He walked away from the grave, and back to the castle.

The golden cat brushed up against her mistress, she thought it was time to go back. The blonde girl pet Miette gently.
"Oh Miette, I don't want to put them through so much trouble, but I can't reveal myself. It's still too early." She said. Miette sighed, her mistress was so stubborn. Phillipe probably forgot by now, it had been three years.
"I'll go when the time is right." Corinne said, "I hope that by then they won't be as badly effected by my 'death.'" Corinne said.
I typed it in a hurry so sorry if it's terrible. Please review! I'll make sure the next chapter is more interesting.
